Gay Payday
Americans donate millions to not-for-profit LGBT groups, and leaders of those groups deliver star power and political muscle to get their voices heard. What’s the cost of that leadership? A new report says many CEOs make a healthy six-figure salary. 365 talks with the leaders, the stars and everyday Americans about this revelation. Ross Palombo reports.
Put quite simply, ALL these people take paycuts or they loose my donations. This will be my response to all requests for donations, and until I hear that they have done so to a paycheck I feel reasonable, the buck stops in my own pocket. Enough is enough.
My husband and I each receive $1000/mo in disability payments. That’s our total income. We live in SoCal. Our rent in a lower middle-class neighborhood in San Diego is $1500/mo.
Do the math.
We gave $200 to No On Hate. We don’t have any more to give.
How much did these obscenely-overpaid executives give?
The GRASSROOTS, UNPAID campaign AFTER Prop Hate passed got more done than all the “establishment” gay orgs put together.
WHAT A RIP-OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We paid Jeffery Kors $ 171,000 to botch the NO ON 8. I want to throw up. I donated money I did not have. I work as a food server and an artist. I think perhaps they did not do all they could to keep their jobs. It just makes me sick. Jeffery should have had someone debate the Yes on 8 folks, when they wanted to. Also we should have shown loving Gay couples or even actors as loving Gay couples that need the legal protection marriage provides. Then I think about Harvey Milk doing all he could in the day because he cared about the cause.
